The Ukrainian flag flies again on Snake Island after the withdrawal of Russian forces

July 4. () –

The Ukrainian authorities have once again hoisted the country’s flag on the Snake Island after the withdrawal last week of Russian forces from the area, as reported by the southern command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Nataliya Humenyuk, press officer of the command, has indicated that “the flag has been installed on the island again after the military operation was completed and the area returned to be under Ukrainian jurisdiction.”

Thus, he has pointed out that “the enemy is not currently making progress in the area” and for this reason they are “resorting to air and missile attacks.” “Our troops advance in a special way, slowly but surely, within the framework of a military operation, in silence,” he explained.

“We consolidate and then announce. On the ground, the enemy has no success, so he uses other strategies. At dawn, several rockets have hit Ukrainian territory in the Kherson region again,” he explained.
